Nothing new in Budget, attempt to appropriate Central schemes: Devendra Fadnavis
The Hindu
Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra Assembly Devendra Fadnavis on Monday said the State government’s Budget only attempts to appropriate the Centre’s ongoing schemes rather than introducing fresh projects.
“The State government has conveniently forgotten to mention that several schemes it announced today had already been announced by the Centre,” Mr. Fadnavis told reporters. It is a disappointing attempt to appropriate the Centre’s schemes, the BJP leader said. “I was surprised to find that there was no announcement of one-time-settlement for farmers with outstanding loans of up to ₹2 lakh. Some 45% of farmers who were not covered in previous crop loan waiver got nothing from the Budget,” he said.
